On the island of Hawaii still stands the
ruins of an ancient heather temple, heiau,
the largest in the group, 325 feet long by
125 feet wide, its stupendous walls were
twenty feet thick at the base and tapering
to six feet at the top. All the stone used
in the building of this gigantic edifice had
to be brought from quarry twelve miles
distant, and as there were no carts or even
beasts of burden in those days, the kama
kas ranged themselves in line yard or
so apart, and passed along the stones one
by one. Fancy living line twelve miles
long sitting (no one can imagine kanaka
standing if it is possible to sit) day after
day, week after week and month after
month, passing stones all day long.

READING EOR GIRLS,
The Point at Which Their Intellectual Ca
reer Is Closed.


We all know Charles Lamb views on
the subject of early reading, as expressed
in his triumphant vindication of Bridget
Ella shappily neglected education: She
was tumbled by accident or design into
spacious closet of good old English
books, without much selection or pro-
hibition, and browsed at will upon that
fair and wholesome pasturage. Had /
twenty girls, they should be brought up
exactly in this fashion" 1t is natural
so hazardous an experiment, especially
as the training of incompatible old
maids is hardly the recognized summit
of maternal ambition; but Bridget Ella
at least ran no danger of intellectual
starvation, while, if we pursue mod
crate school girl along the track of her
self-chosen reading, we shall be aston
ished that so much printed matter can
yield SO little mental nourishment. She
has begun, no doubt, with childish
stories, bright and well written, probab-
ly, following each other in such quick
succession that none of them have left
any distinct impressions on her mind.
Books that children read but once are of
scant service to Them those that have
really helped to warm our imaginations
and to train our faculties are the few old
friends we know so we'll that they have
become portion of our thinking selves.
AT ten or twelve the little girl aspires to
something partly grown up-to those
nondescript tales which, trembling ever
on tho brink of sentiment, seem afraid
TO risk the plunge; and with her appe-
.tite whetted by a course of this unsatis-
flying diet, she is soon ripe for little
more excitement and great deal moro
love, so graduates into Rhoda Brough-
ton and the Duchess" at which point
her intellectual career is closed She
has no idea, even, of what she has
missed in the world Of books She tells
you that she don't care for Dickens"
and cant get interested in Scott"
with a placidity that plainly shows she
lays the blame for this state of affairs
on the two great masters who have
amused and charmed the world. As
for Northanger Abbey, or Emma, she
would as soon think of finding enter
tainment in Henry Esmond. She has
probably never read n single MASTER
piece OF our language; she has never
been moved by a noble poem, or stirred
TO the quick by a well-told pare of his
tory; she has never opened the pores of
her mind for the reception of vigorous
thought, or the solution of a mental
problem; yet she may be found daily in
the circulating library, and is seldom
visible on the street without II book or
two under her arm.-AgneS Keppiier, in

GYPSY MUSICIANS.

The Old Love of Music Stin Lingering in the
Tents of the Nomads.
In days of yore, long ere the hills of
England were tunneled, its rivers
crossed, or its valleys were invaded to
make way for railway trains, it was
sweet to listen to the mild music which,
cmanating from some Gypsy camp in
secluded dell, mingled with the rich
notes of the nightingale and other birds
of song, just as the sun, on his vermilion
car, sank below the horizon in the dis
tant west Although inroads have been
made on the haunts of the Gypsy tribes,
and there music is not heard so often
now as formerly, the old love of it still
fingers in the tents. and lives in the
hearts of this singular people. Their
home is now and then enlivened
by music and dancing, especially
when the women have had good luck"
and the men have been successful in
their speculations. 1t is then they in
dulge, more than they usually do, in
both eating and drinking. A few of
fortunes smiles" will make them so
light-heartod, and they become so
merry, that a tune on the violin is pro-
posed, to which all that are able and so
disposed dance with great hilarity,
especially TO that known as THE White
Cockade" Many of the men dance
well, and the women and girls gener-
ally move lightly and elegantly, and
all of them seem to enjoy the pastime.
The favorite instruments of the Gypsies
are the harp, fiddle, tambourine and
tin whistle. Such apt pupils in music
are many of them, that if they had
proper facilities and efficient tutors they
would be no disgrace whatever either
TO the most eminent composers or to
the most accomplished musicians. In
different parts of Europe, particularly
in Russia and Hungary, many Gypsies
have become very popular as singers in
cathedrals and churches, and have often
been employed to sing before Princes
and fashionable assemblies, both private
and public. In Spain some of the Gita-
nos are theatrical performers, and cases
are not infrequent in which they have
attained great efficiency and popularity.
In Hungary writer relates of knowing
several Gypsy women who were popular
as public singers, and one in particular
whose voice was of such remarkable
sweetness that she was almost constantly
engaged in singing at concerts given in
the private mansions of the rich and
noble for many miles around, and for
which she was always very munifcently

Some method of warming water
by heat, and even warming the barn
in the same way, may in many
cases be found economical and profit
able way of saving feed and preventing
loss of product. Fuel is certainly
cheaper than fodder and grain, and
warming apparatus need not be too
costly for the farmer who has twenty
head of stock only to feed. There are
many uses for steam engine on farm
of one hundred acres, and this may be
used to cut feed for the stock, TO warm
the water, and to heat the stables, at
least sufficiently to prevent the cattle
from suffering from cold. When a
farmer with thirty acres of land can
afford to provide himself with $1,000
worth of tools and machines-as at
least one does profitably-an expendi-
ture of $500 for five-horse power
engine is surely profitable investment
for farm three or four times the size.

Outwitting a Detective.

One of the brightest detectives at
police headquarters is the subject Of a
Joke He recently was out looking for
a well-known ''crook, and one of the
toughest young men in Buffalo. The
officer spotted his game on Front ave-
nue., and started towards him. The
latter "tumbled," very quickly and
made off, turning down Fifth street on
a run. The detective gave chase and
the race was getting so hot that the
crook bolted into a saloon. A pail Of
water was standing on the floor OF the
barroom, and quick as flash the pur-
sued threw down his hat and began
washing his face in it. In an instant
the detective burst in, asking: "Did -
man run in here just now?" Yes,
answered the crook, vigorously rub
bing his face. ''Just went out the back
door" The detective took the oait
and went through the rear exit on q
gallop, while Mr.. Crook was out OF
reach. Buffalo Courier.

Martha's EpitapIl.

Down in Houston County, Ga, there II
an ancient village called Old Wilmer. In
its most prosperous days there was big
school there, and teacher cana from the
North to take charge of the academy. His
name was Moore. He lost his wife, whom
he loved very dearly. He had her buried
in the old burying ground of Wilmer, and
out Of the meager funds he erected mar
bic tombstone at the head of her grave.
As it was In the wild wood, as cemeteries
generally were then, it was a favorit te
hunting ground for the Juvenile populs-
ton. Thus it came about that the half
obliterated epitaph appears to-day, cut
deep in the messy stone "Boys, Don't

The name, Martha Anne Moore, with date
Of birth and death, appear above. 1t is a
curious epitaph, and it is the only bit of

And cast its fragrant sweets around
And rose it's God to bless.

In lands or yellow gold,
And yet no beggar at his door
In vain his sorrows told.

He blessed in word and deed;
His heart responded to the call

While bright grew all the skies,
